I did not know that he was a drummer first, certainly explains his passion for percussion. As I said it gets a little tiring to listen to but on the other hand it's the truly great ones that use one instrument to play everything they hear in their heads. Respect due to Mr Dickens - he plays guitar bass and drums on those huge Conklins of his.

I agree, the fast percussive style is only one resource for a bass player, but too much of it at once is boooooorning, no matter how cleanly done. And I don't even care who's playing, Mark King, Victor, anybody.

when HE plays Finger he's GREAT master..i Like It a LOT.
When he does slap (and i saw many videos about) ,
Honestly it Does'nt play so much notes,so he can sounds "speedy and difficult" but it's not , it's chaotic and pointless and there are thousend of people who play at that speed, with clar notes too instead.
IF the name of the was'nt "Dickens" ,everybody
would agree i believe.
Stay assured that HE is a Great musician in every Other aspects,hands down

Came here to hear a bass controlled midi system....Got cheezy

Sometimes less is more!!!

He's cool, I just think he goes too fast and it just sounds like a jumble of clicks.

This is noise, not music. It's probably just a clip to show Ghost's tracking, but I think it does a disservice to Bill's musicality.
i think most of you are missing the whole point of this vidio hes testing the tracking of a new synth bass module to see if it can keep up with him.

I agree with Bassshred37 - Midi tracking is based upon identifying the fundimental harmonic and thus cannot be derived traditionally until the string has completed one cycle of vibration. What this is doing is tracking flawlessly on slow strings very quickly - thats impressive!
